Sofitel Melbourne On Collins

Welcome to Sofitel Melbourne On Collins – your haven of serenity and refined living in the heart of Melbourne, where timeless elegance meets forward-thinking sustainability.

Located in one of Australia’s most vibrant city centres, this 5-star hotel is setting a new benchmark for environmentally responsible hospitality. The hotel has implemented a wide range of operational innovations that demonstrate how long-standing properties can embrace sustainability without compromising on guest expectations or service quality.

Operating under an ISO 14001:2015-certified Environmental Management System since 2015, the hotel’s comprehensive sustainability strategy spans guest-facing initiatives, internal performance tracking, and deep collaboration with suppliers. A dedicated Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Committee guides progress, with each department actively contributing to targets in waste reduction, sustainable procurement, and eco-conscious food services.

A standout success is the hotel’s Circular Water Bottling System, introduced city-wide in January 2025. Refillable glass bottles, MODA-filtered on-site, have replaced single-use glass bottles in guest rooms, restaurants, and event spaces – complemented by reusable milk kegs and produce containers to eliminate packaging waste at the source.

Through partnerships with local suppliers, including Kinaway Certified First Nations businesses, and the sharing of case studies within the Accor network, Sofitel Melbourne On Collins scales its impact beyond its own walls.

Looking ahead, the hotel is adopting digital waste tracking and expanding food waste monitoring through Winnow technology. Sofitel Melbourne On Collins continues to demonstrate that sustainability and luxury are not only compatible, but can thrive together.
